CHAPTER 01
Sealing battlefield — Fortress of Bitter Frost
PvP
The battlefield gets a brand-new mode: Sealing (봉인전), at the Fortress of Bitter Frost (혹한의 서리 요새). It's 12 vs 12, but the logic changes completely: instead of kill for kill, you carry a relic to the enemy altar and seal it.
Whoever seals twice first takes the match. The game lasts 10 minutes and, if nobody closes it out, goes into 5 minutes of overtime. Alongside come two new Disruptors (교란자) — agents of chaos that upend the map in the middle of the race for the relic.
⟡ Air Strike
Appears with a chance when you grab the relic.
Pressures anyone trying to run with the objective in hand.
⟡ Blitz
Shows up near the center of the map at fixed intervals after the round starts.
Contests control of the middle — ignore it and you pay dearly.
Sealing — objective
12 vs 12 battlefield
Seal 2× to win
Carry the relic to the enemy team's altar. The first to complete two seals ends the match.
Match time
With overtime
⚙ 10 min + 5 min
Base match of 10 minutes. If there's no winner, 5 minutes of overtime.
Sealing (rules): 12 vs 12 battlefield; the relic is carried to the enemy team's altar and sealed; the first team to seal twice wins; base match of 10 minutes with 5 minutes of overtime if there's no winner.
New Disruptors (agents of chaos): the Air Strike appears with a chance when you acquire the relic; the Blitz shows up near the center of the map at fixed intervals after the round starts.
New achievements for the Fortress of Bitter Frost were added.
Season 2: with the arrival of the Fortress of Bitter Frost, Season 1 of the regular battlefield ends and Season 2 begins.
Daily rotation — Sunday to Tuesday:Conquest (Giant's City / Elves' Hanging Garden).
Daily rotation — Wednesday to Saturday:Sealing (Fortress of Bitter Frost).
New rule guides explaining the new mode were added to the game.
CHAPTER 02
New PvE — Frostbreath Cave and Arch Boss raids
Dungeon
The Challenge Dimension gets the Frostbreath Cave (서리 숨결 동굴). Alongside it, four new guild raids on Arch Bosses (광성) open up.
Playing with a new or returning character is now worth more: clearing a co-op dungeon or raid alongside them drops extra reward in the boss chest.
Frostbreath Cave (서리 숨결 동굴) added to the Challenge Dimension.
Four Arch Boss guild raids (광성), unlocked at guild level 30: Daigon, Leviathan, Pakilo Naru, and Manticus.
Escort reward: clearing a co-op dungeon or raid with a new/returning character and receiving a reward from the chest that appears after defeating the boss grants additional reward.
New co-op dungeon achievements at the Temple of the Final Flame (종염의 사원) and the Frostbreath Cave.
CHAPTER 03
Weapon rebalance
Buff
The axis of the balancing was reining in excess: damage stacking and shield stacking no longer scale out of control, and strike and bonus-damage values were readjusted weapon by weapon.
Two changes shift rotations: the Spear gains the new Shock state (쇠약: 감전) and the Gauntlet gets a rework to Blood Feast (혈식). Below are the highlights; the full list, with every weapon-by-weapon scaling table, is in the expandable block.
The recipes that use Skill Core as a material are back — the result gets no potential stat
Spear — Shock (쇠약: 감전)

Integrated Specialization — Bloodlust (피의 욕망), reworked: it used to consume 4% mana/s and, every 5s, guaranteed a strike on bosses and +50 crit on bosses (max 3 stacks); now it consumes 12% mana on attacking or being hit, guarantees a strike on bosses and +150 crit on bosses, with a 5s re-activation limit.
CHAPTER 04
Unique gear and Skill Cores become item options
System
Structural change: the Skill Core effect that lived on unique armor and accessories now comes in as a fixed stat on the equipment itself, and the corresponding core is removed from the game.
In practice, you no longer spend a core slot to have the effect — it already comes on the item. Anyone who had the removed cores gets a refund. Several specific items were also readjusted or fixed.
Black Wings set (검은 날개)
Each of the 6 pieces
▲ Fixed option
Gains +300 Magic Defense and +2,000 Max HP as an item stat.
Scream accessories (비명)
Each of the 5 accessories

Refund: each core owned yields 20 Chaos Soul Stone: Kalancia; a core already dissolved yields 17 retroactively; a destroyed core gives no refund.
Pants of Cunning Sorcery (묘수의 사술 바지): fixed the Max Stamina value applied incorrectly (Lv51 160→13, Lv80 305→25).
Dekman's Arch Staff (데크만의 광성봉): fixed so that the Corruption Magic Circle effect is applied.
Precision Sniper Bow of the North Wind's Roar (북풍의 포효 저격궁): stunned targets no longer accumulate Rock; detailed description — Bombardment Arrow becomes Rock Arrow, drops 16 arrows dealing 128% +14 area damage and stuns for 3s every 4 hits; with spec. 2 [Area Increase], it rises to 24 arrows.
Frostflame Longbow (냉기의 홍염장궁) and Frost Comet Longbow (냉기의 혜성장궁): fixed the wrong description of Cry of Purification — Touch of Purification becomes Cry of Purification, cleanses ally states within a 3m radius, with a 27s cooldown and 260 mana.

⟡ Refund of removed Skill Cores
⟡ Warning
The cores Rampart of the Black Wings (검은 날개의 방벽) and Power of the Black Wings (검은 날개의 권능) leave the raid rewards and the exchange merchant. Anyone who owned each one receives 20 Chaos Soul Stone: Kalancia. Cores already dissolved yield 17 retroactively; destroyed cores give no refund. The crafting recipes that use Skill Core as a material are back — but the result does not receive a potential stat.
CHAPTER 05
Economy — relief on Trait and Resonance growth
System
The biggest relief of the patch is in progression. The dev admitted that, after T3, the cost of Trait and Resonance became a real bottleneck — and cut deep into the required materials and Solant rates. Everything spent before the patch is refunded by the difference, via mail.
Below, every before/after number; the rest of the package (supply, recipes, and refunds) is in the expandable block.

The extra reward from Material Conversion now includes a Trait Unlock Stone fragment.
Crafting recipes with Skill Core as a material are back — the result gets no potential skill.
Arch weapon (crafting): no potential option is applied when crafting; the potentials of already-crafted Arch equipment are removed and all the material used is refunded.
As per the earlier notice about Arch Boss weapons, the potentials gained by repeatedly farming an Arch weapon with Skill Core are removed in bulk.
All material and Solant spent before the patch are refunded by the difference, via mail.
CHAPTER 06
Sealing Key and Skill Core sources
System
The Sealing Key was created to preserve the value of top-end gear and keep market prices from crashing — but the supply got too tight and choked trade. This patch is the first step of a fix: new acquisition sources, starting with the Honor Coin shop.
Alongside, the skill core gets new points of acquisition and choice recipes.
The new Rubix and Marind Resin Flowers enter crafting with a choice of weapon Skill Core
⟡ Rubix Resin Flower
Costs 1.5× the value of the common Resin Flower.
Lets you choose the weapon's Skill Core.
The cores obtained here are untradable.
⟡ Marind Resin Flower
Costs the same as the common Resin Flower.
Choose from a more restricted range than the Rubix.
The cores obtained here are untradable.
Sealing Key — Honor Coin shop
Weekly purchase
▲ 800 coins / 1 key
Limit of 1 purchase per week.
Sealing Key — Challenge Dimension
Score reward
▲ New source
Added to the rewards for reaching a score in the Challenge Dimension.
Skill Core — Nix abyss

Marind Resin Flower (마린드 레진 플라워): same cost as the common one, choose from a more restricted range than the Rubix; cores obtained are untradable.
Gem recipes: each raw stone can be crafted using Precious (진귀한) Marind, Emmeret, Rubix, and Staron.
CHAPTER 07
Quality of life and systems
System
The convenience round is large and targets the day-to-day: more flexible Material Conversion, Guild Distribution with a level filter, an item tooltip on toggle, and the gear level now visible on the character sheet. The full list is in the expandable block.
Material Conversion gets a level filter in batch and an option to exclude items with an open trait
The detailed tooltip view becomes a toggle — Alt+G holds the state until you switch back
Material Conversion: equipment with a reinforced trait can now be converted.
Material Conversion: when inserting in batch, a level filter lets you include items at or below the chosen level.
Material Conversion: an option to exclude items with an open trait from the material selection list.

Guild Distribution: an option to include equipment at or above the designated level (kept by the item's max level).
Item tooltip: the detailed view becomes a toggle, held with Alt + G until you return to the simplified view.
Character sheet: now shows gear level — the average of the highest level obtained on weapon, armor, and accessory.

Dimension: the dungeon list is now ordered by combat power (applies to co-op dungeon, group board, and matchmaking).
Settings: the matchmaking confirmation alert sound is now configurable (Settings → Content → Matchmaking alert; off / sound 1 / sound 2, including in the background).
Trait Resonance: a confirmation popup when pressing the trait conversion button.
[Nix] Tumgir Vault (툼기르 수장고): became a hunting area that consumes Abyss Point, with the number of monsters increased.
CHAPTER 08
Fixes — story, Nix, and events
Fix
The content-fix round is enormous. From the Adventure Codex to Nix's sudden events — including a wrong answer in the Talking Wall quiz and a heavy nerf to the Baba Yaga of the Witch's Cauldron. The full list is in the expandable block.

⟡ Known issues
⟡ Warning
At the Fortress of Bitter Frost, on low graphics quality, part of the ice floor and stairs can become invisible. On Skill Cores there's a visual-only tooltip issue: the monster damage amplification shows up too high on Thundercloud Explosion, Ice Explosion, Nightmare Melody, and Nightmare Concerto (it will be removed from the display later), and shows up summed on Torrent and Eye of Ventius (it will be fixed to display separately). The actual values applied don't change.

Scaryel's take
Analysis

Scaryel comments
⟡ Creator's voice
“This patch does two things at once that usually come apart: it rewrites PvP and it cheapens the endgame. The Sealing battlefield rewards objective coordination over pure teamfight — organized guilds will love it, random matchmaking will suffer in the first weeks. But what changes life for most players isn't the new mode: it's the up-to-80% cut to the Solant rate. Anyone stuck at the Resonance bottleneck just got months of progress back. And the detail easy to miss in the middle of the giant note: Longbow and Dagger DoT now ignores shield — that quietly shifts the sustain balance in PvP, more than any number in the weapon table.”
Final verdict⟡ Season-turn patch · Broad rebalance + real economic reliefConfidence: 8.5/10
Impact
Impact on players
Community
What changes in practice
Changes from the KR server. Global usually gets them weeks later — use the window to plan gear and stockpile Solant.
For guilds
Drill the Sealing objective right away — carrying and sealing demands a route and coverage, not just burst. The 30+ guild gains four Arch Boss raids (Daigon, Leviathan, Pakilo Naru, Manticus) to farm.
For solo PvP
Season 1 reset: rebuild your rating in Season 2. Check the day's rotation before queuing — Conquest (Sun–Tue) and Sealing (Wed–Sat) call for different builds.
For casual players
The best part for you is the economy: Trait stones cut in half and Solant up to 80% cheaper unlock Resonance without endless grind, with the difference refunded via mail.
